All the articles are submitted to a careful peer-reviewing evaluation
process by the journal's Editorial Board. The
Editorial Board, reviewers and authors make
use of a web based proprietary automated tool to deal with the reviewing
procedures - the Revista Matéria's article reviewing restricted
access system - SARRA. Authors are not informed about the identity of
the reviewers.

Revista Matéria publishes original articles reviewed and
accepted by its Editorial Board. An additional
requirement for publication is to fill in and to send to the journal the
Authorship Confirmation and Publication Rights form (a copyright assignment
form).

Scientific articles may be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English. An abstract, containing up to 300 words, is required in the original language of the article and in English.

The articles must have the following characteristics: Text formatted in accordance with the standard-manuscript developed in MSWord, already containing the respective links in the text to the bibliography. All the formatting features are explained in this standard-manuscript, available at: http://www.materia.coppe.ufrj.br/standard.dot
